still strong In your souls, it always is IA tho
hearts or our country men. livery lrlSnman Is A
better Irshman for coming TO America As we
passed the Galley Head the poor fishermen came
out In their little boats and choered US until they
were lost sight OF. The last things We saw were
the bonfires on the hills tine dear old country
faded from sight. Now after >, 900 miles over the
ocean and miles away from land, the first thipg We
md Is a number OF enthusiastic lrfshmen t0t,reet
us. We came out upon delicate task. We came
10 let the Irish Canadians know Just what Kind OF
q rack-renting champion Lord lansdowne Is.
We're going 10 tell the three millions OF Canadians
HOW IRELAND Is BEING pEPOPUIarFD
by the brutal system he represents We have
done one thing during the past three months: we
have stopped paying rent Ia these rack-renters-
Not one man who was eyicted has broken faith
with the policy and plan or campaign We organ-
tied. We make the landlord support every
eyicted tenant out of the rent the tenants should
against the poor people. We have come to let the
people OF Canada be the Judges between and
Lansdowne. We know what the results Will be
victory. Ireland's prospects now brighter
than ever. We VIII show this LansdOwne that
we have got as good men as he has. Ii Demon
strates the Kindly feeling that Americans
have for us and when
ind tina. you gentlemen have hoyered about this
bay for US. III we go down IL VIII be with our
faces TO the foe; but I don't think are going
down in the brutal storm that these tyrants have
raised. The hearts OF the people are with us
They have faith In us and confidence In the cause
dropping and fast ebbing away. This fight viii &c
on II you Americans Will trust u.s. Ii Is your sup
port of our cause and our great leader, Chas. s.
farnell, that has brought victory almost within
range or our vision. 1 thank You kindly for thh
